New front page - Ike in the theater
President Eisenhower sits quietly and comfortably in his easy chair in the Family Theater, where he spent so many hours watching western after western. No foolin'.

I guess black tie lounging was all the rage in the 50s. Must have been a guy flick. Nary a woman there.
cool picture, i liked the green room picture better though. Ndkott@aol.com says.
Must have been one of Ike's famous "stag nights"!
Love the picture.
Seeing the photo reminds me of JBK's words, "Pullman car ashtray stands" as quoted by West.
I saw that picture and immediately thought "now THAT looks like a happening party!"
haha!
What does everyone think of the theater since Laura Bush re-did it? I know this came up a few weeks ago. I think it looks very 1920's....
I actually don't mind the red. Initially I thought maybe it was tacky but when it comes to a movie environment red is more appealing/exciting for me.
Where did all the women go?!!
There are no women in that photo..
Oh well maybe they were upstairs
baking cookies...
Or watching their *own* movie. ;-)
Mamie was probably upstairs decorating, though - putting her fodder shocks, witches and pumpkins in the Center Hall for Halloween.
The woman loved to decorate. I'm not sure she was fond of baking though. I think Ike was the chef of the family - famous for grilling.
